LOST FOR 32 YEARS.

Milwaukee, Oct. 1st - The steamer H.A. Root, which has been engaged for some time in raising the cargo of copper of the sunken steamer Pewabic, off Alpena, in Lake Huron, has arrived in Milwaukee, having in her hold six hundred tons of copper. The Pewabic lies in 165 feet of water. One lump of mass copper raised weighed 11,600 pounds, and the second in size weighs 5,766 pounds. The others run from 300 to 400 pounds up. A large amount of copper ingots and milled copper has been taken out. The water appears to have had no effect whatever on the metal, that has lain at the bottom of the lake for over thirty-two years. The mast of the Pewabic was taken almost entire, and it is practically as sound as ever.

The propeller Niagara, which ran ashore above Brockville on Tuesday evening, has not yet been released.

Snips - The tug Maggie May arrived from Ottawa last evening with the barges Dandy and Peruvian, with 200,000 feet of pine lumber for the Mooer's elevator.

Since 2005 this site has been the prototype for the digital collection management tools built for the Our Digital World (formerly the OurOntario project of Knowledge Ontario.)

As a prototype it is subject to occasional, unexplained interruptions in service ... because we keep trying new things.
